Unakite Jasper Meaning & Crystal Healing Properties

Unakite Jasper is one of the varieties on our Jasper overview, where you can compare the whole jasper family side by side.

Hi, I am Laurie, and I run Wholehearted Crystal Creations here in Regina. Unakite is a warm mix of green and pink. Here is what it is.

What Is Unakite Jasper?

Unakite is a granite made of green epidote, salmon-pink orthoclase feldspar and clear quartz. It is named after the Unaka Mountains of North Carolina, where it was first described. It is sold as unakite jasper, though technically it is a granite rather than a jasper.

At 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale it is fairly hard. See the family on our jasper overview.
